Located in Chambolle-Musigny, Domaine Hudelot-Noellat magnifies Pinot Noir by paying vibrant tribute to the terroirs that gave birth to it.

Talent waits for no age. This well-known adage fits perfectly at Domaine Hudelot-Noellat, where Charles Van Canneyt has been working wonders since his first vintage in 2008. Grandson of the estate’s founder, Alain Hudelot, Charles Van Canneyt evolves with discretion, offering wines in his own image: sensitive, sincere and elegant. Preferring to take a back seat to his terroirs, he favors respectful vineyard work and gentle vinification, using whole bunches sparingly. Grands Crus such as Romanée-Saint-Vivant or Richebourg are simply magical, while Premiers Crus and Villages are just as impressive. Almost exclusively red, the nectars live up to their reputation. A brilliant success story.
